Currently, CSS3 Text tries to address this problem with the collapsing
rules here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#line-break-transform
IE implements something along those lines, but none of the other
browsers do. Koji and I think the rules in the spec right now are
probably the right behavior; but there's an open question on
Web-compatibility. (CSS2.1 left this particular issue undefined.)
